=====================F=F=X=2=====================
HI! And welcome to my first guide on the Famed Final Fantasy X-2. There
are many FAQS on this game, and I wanted to be part of the huge pack of
FAQS so I created this walkthrough for each part of the "Road the the
Farplane" dungeon. I went through and played each of these dungeons
a few times and made sure each of the directions were correct. Most of
them are straightforward, while others have some difficulty to them.
Please feel free to contact me, concerning any questions you have about
these areas, and I will respond ASAP. Please keep in mind that I won't
answer any emails that do not correspond to this FAQ, please look up
the correct FAQ holders of other questions you may have. Hope this
comes in handy to you!!
One more thing I need to mention is if you having trouble on the three
Aeons, consult the Boss FAQ listed in the FFX2 data base.
Happy Gaming!! :D

what they almost must have and then things that will make this a breeze.
The minimum shown is what you could go through this with some
difficulty, and the suggested makes it much easier. Also note that just

=============A0700: Walkthrough Notes============
=====================F=F=X=2=====================
-Note-
I will use the term "Block" throughout this FAQ, these are the little
platforms hovering in the air.
-Note- Also note that once you complete either five of the dungeons, and
return to the Airship, Brother is no longer standing in the center, he is
now at the head of the Airship where you can teleport to the other
temples or the Farplane Abyss
=====================F=F=X=2=====================
===========A1000: BESAID TEMPLE WALKTHROUGH======
=====================F=F=X=2=====================
ESTIMATED COMPLETION TIME:
1st Time: 20 minutes
2nd Time: 10 minutes
DIFFICULTY: EASY
BOSSES: SHIVA, MAGUS SISTERS, ANIMA (IF FIRST TIME COMING
THROUGH)
When you arrive, you will see endless paths that all seem to lead down
an area. You'll also notice some areas unaccessible this time down. (My
guess is that all five areas are linked to one area, that is why many
places seem vaguely familiar). But other than that Shiva will come and
fight you (Because her temple was sunk under Macalania Lake, HAHA
Traitor! :P
BOSS FIGHT: Shiva (SEE BOSS FA)
Now jump down to the pathway and follow it, you'll come to a block so
just jump it and then you'll come to a fork. You can choose to go left, but it
ends with a moving block that takes to the beginning (There are many of
these along the way, one way takes you to a block that brings you back to
the area you were just at, I will mention this every time). To proceed go to
the right which has you following and path to another block. Here we are
at the second fork; the right path takes you to the first fork and the left
path
takes you to the Magus Sisters.
BOSS FIGHT: Magus Sisters (SEE BOSS FAQ)
A save point will appear, letting you rest up or if you aren't ready, take
you
back to the airship and train up. If you decided to stay, venture forward
which will lead you to another path and yet again a fork in the path.
Heading right will take you back right after the save point and left will have
you walking even more to a block and then another fork. Right takes you
back so left must take your forward, you will come to a bunch of blocks,
once you jump to one you automatically jump the rest and land a platform
away from a large open area. Coming to this will have you arrive at the
battles between Anima.
BOSS FIGHT: ANIMA (SEE BOSS FAQ)
Once you beat him you will be transported to the Farplane Abyss, I now
strongly urge you to continue through the remaining four to receive once
of the best GG in the game.
=====================F=F=X=2=====================
=========A1100 KILIKA TEMPLE WALKTHROUGH=========
=====================F=F=X=2=====================
ESTIMATED COMPLETION TIME:
1st Time: 20 minutes
2nd Time: 10 minutes
DIFFICULTY: SEMI-EASY
BOSSES: SHIVA, MAGUS SISTERS, ANIMA (IF FIRST TIME COMING
THROUGH)
If it's your first time through then you'll have to fight Shiva, see the Boss
section for a description on how to be her. Otherwise this level provides a
little more difficulty then Besaids. Now they're going to be little flames on
the ground that become big and then come back to being small. You
goal is to run or in some cases, to jump fast and avoid contact.
-Flame Geysers-
"If you make repeated contact with the flames, you will be sent back to
one of the flames you've already touched."
What does this mean? Well basically if you get hit by a flame when it's
high, Yuna will stumble and then from now on if you make contact with
any flame twice then you'll be taken back to the one you already made
contact with.
After the first flame you will walk down a back and come to two more
flames, evade them and jump the block, you'll come to a flame here
where you run past then you will need to jump quickly and jump again to
avoid the flame on the block. If you don't jump then get of to the side so it
can't you and go when it's down. There will now be a set of three blocks
you will need to jump and will lead you to the Magus Sisters if you haven't
already beat them. If you have then there will be a save point for you to
use.
When you're ready head forward and shortly after there will be a
teleporter that take you to another path with two flames this time. get past
them and the next set of blocks will be jumped for you, this path you just
arrived at will have four flames you will need to run past, then there will
be two blocks with a flame on each you will need to avoid, then the last
flame will be in front of you which can be avoided easily allowing you to
jump down to Anima.
=====================F=F=X=2=====================
=========A1200 DJOSE TEMPLE WALKTHROUGH==========
=====================F=F=X=2=====================
ESTIMATED COMPLETION TIME:
1st Time: 25 minutes
2nd Time: 15 minutes
DIFFICULTY: Low-Medium
BOSSES: SHIVA, MAGUS SISTERS, ANIMA (IF FIRST TIME COMING
THROUGH)
Like normally if this is your first time through all the bosses will be here,
and Shiva will battle you first. If your following the guide then let me say
this is the second hardest dungeon of all five, even though it's still not
that hard.
So head to the left and run along the pathway taking you to a block fork.
Head right first to create the block path later on. You will be transported to
a small island which will look like this.
OOO Number 1-3
O3O /
OOO
Blocks 1-3
/
_________
OOO OOO | Reset | -Stepping Stones-
O2O O3O | | "You may be able to use the

OOO | |
O2O | |
OOO | |

O1O OOO | |

|__Start__|
To activate this mini game you will need to walk up to block one and
press "X" now send block "1" to number "3", then send block "2" to
number "2" and finally block "3" to number "1". If you mess up just go to
the yellow dot at the top to reset the blocks
-Note- There are other combos but this is what worked for me.
Now backtrack to the bottom area and the transported will come back for
you. When you come back head to the left block, and jump three more
blocks after that first one. You will now be walking a path which will come
to a set of four blocks and the last one will transport you to the Magus
Sisters. If you have beat them then the save point is there for you to save.
Keep going straight and you'll come to what looks like a fork, but the
upper path won't allow you to jump up there (It's from another Temple
Hole) so continue left or down. You're going to basically head down and
around by dropping off three consecutive paths, and then to the famous
three blocks that are automatically jumped for you. When you reach this
path it will be a long walk, you will see two blocks and jumping to the first
will reset you to the beginning of the the walk, so just run downwards
back to the path and jump the remaining block which leads you to Anima.
=====================F=F=X=2=====================
=========A1300 BEVELLE TEMPLE WALKTHROUGH========
=====================F=F=X=2=====================
ESTIMATED COMPLETION TIME:
1st Time: 15 minutes
2nd Time: 7 minutes
DIFFICULTY: Very Easy
BOSSES: SHIVA, MAGUS SISTERS, ANIMA (IF FIRST TIME COMING
THROUGH)
So if it's your first time through, you get to battle Shiva. If not I just
want to mention that this is the easiest/shortest of the dungeons. So
this would be a good choice if you just want to go through once.
The camera starts you so you see Yuna and she sees you, so head
down the very long and curvy path. You're gonna need to jump the block
and then land on the platform where you will fight the Magus Sisters, or if
you already beat them it will be a save point.
Continue on straight and jump the block then you'll have to run along
another long and curvy path which ends with the famous three auto jump
blocks. When you land there will be one final long path which ends with a
battle with Anima.
=====================F=F=X=2=====================
========A1400 CALM LAND GORGE WALKTHROUGH========
=====================F=F=X=2=====================
ESTIMATED COMPLETION TIME:
1st Time: 30 minutes
2nd Time: 20 minutes
DIFFICULTY: Medium
BOSSES: SHIVA, MAGUS SISTERS, ANIMA (IF FIRST TIME COMING
THROUGH)
Probably the most challenging dungeon of them all. The last hole you
can choose to jump in. You start with the obvious battle with Shiva, then
continue on straight and jump to the next path which ends with a blue
light coming up from the ground. These are teleporters that teleport you
to another teleporter.
You're gonna have to run over the next two flames when they're down,
then jump to the next path. There's another flame, which you dodge and
continue the path until you come to a block with a flame on it, jump when
the flame is still high but right when it's going to go down and quickly
jump twice. There will be one more block which takes you to the Magus
Sisters. Save and continue to the next block.
Jump the gap and go into the teleport. You'll now run along a curvy path
where you jump down to a ledge and then jump again to a teleport. Go
straight forward on this next part and you will finally come to the last auto
jumping blocks. You're now gonna want to go left to a teleport and then a
choice will need to be made. When you first appear you're gonna wanna
think that you need to go down but you actually want to go up. First off if
you go down you're gonna come to a teleport which takes you back to the
up and down fork. So go up by jumping to the ledge and going to the
teleport. You will be put on a path and going left will take you back to that
decision place while right leads you on a path to Anima.

==================A1500: BOSS FAQ================
=====================F=F=X=2=====================
=============================
Boss Name: Shiva
=============================
HP: 14800
MP: 9999
EXP: 8000
GIL: 2000
ATTACKS: Blizzaga (400-600dmg), Basic Attack (300-400dmg), Diamond
Dust(1000dmg) (Overdrive), and Heavenly Strike(1/2 HP/MP may stop
character)
---Strategy #1 ---
I'll mention the most common of all boss strategies. Just in case some
people don't know them. First have two of the three girls be Dark Knights,
each turn have them use darkness, then have the final girl be either an
Alchemist and mixing potion/hi-potion when low on hp or using White
Mage to do Curage/Life/Protect.
Now for your protection, use anything that nulls ice magic and it wouldn't
hurt to use some defensive accessories either.
---End Strategy #1---
---Strategy #2 ---
If you want a harder challenge. Equip one or two girls with the Blackmage
DS and have her use Firaga, then if you only used one have the other girl
be either a Warrior/Dark Knight/Berseker and have them get an attack in
right before the Firaga is cast. Of course have White Mage or Alchemist
as your healer. Her attack do some damage but nothing you can't heal.
Remember to use accessories that half and null ice magic and heal
every time heavenly strike and diamond dust are used. She goes down
fast if fought correctly.
---End Strategy #2---
=============================
Boss Name: Magus Sisters
=============================
Mindy:
HP: 9788
MP: 9999
EXP: 3000
GIL: 1000
ATTACKS: Blizzaga (500dmg), Passado (15hits about 80% of HP),
Wataga (500dmg), Firaga (500dmg), Thundaga (500dmg), and Delta
Attack (All girls HP to 1)(Overdrive)
Candy:
HP: 10330
MP: 9999
EXP: 3000
GIL: 1000
ATTACKS: Razzia (200dmg), Delta Attack (All girls HP to 1)(Overdrive)
and Basic Attack (100-300dmg)
Cindy:
HP: 12240
MP: 9999
EXP: 3000
GIL: 1000
ATTACKS: Demi (25% HP DMG), Not-So-Mighty Guard (Shell, Regen and
Protect), Absorb (HP/MP absorbed to Cindy), Camisade (200-400DMG),
Delta Attack (All girls HP to 1) (Overdrive), Regen (Regen), and White
Highwind (Recover 35% HP and most staus alignments)
---Strategy #1 ---
I'll mention the most common of all boss strategies. Just in case some
people don't know them. First have two of the three girls be Dark Knights,
each turn have them use darkness, then have the final girl be either an
Alchemist and mixing potion/hi-potion when low on hp or using White
Mage to do Curage/Life/Protect.
---End Strategy #1---
---Strategy #2 ---
Now this is one of the hardest bosses in the game, they can make you
very mad with all the healing and protecting they do. They also have very
high agility which gives them quite a few attack before you can make
yours. If you don't want make it easy with Dark Knights at least have an
alchemist to use mega-potions EVERY turn. Then get someone with very
high ACC and widdle away, or you can toss items which always will hit.
Watch out if they all survive for a while because they will use their
overdrive Delta Attack which take your characters down to 1 HP each. All
the other attacks do far damage which are easy to heal.
---End Strategy #2---
---Strategy #3 --- Contributed by EltharionX
If you have a lot of Gil to use and none of the other strategies work for
you. Use the Samurai's spare change ability to kill them all in a couple of
turns.
---End Strategy #3 --- Contributed by EltharionX
=============================
Boss Name: Anima
=============================
HP: 36000
MP: 9999
EXP: 6000
GIL: 2000
ATTACKS: Oblivion (600-700dmg)(Overdrive), Stare (200-300dmg
Causes Poison) and Pain ( 200-300dmg Negative Status Effects and
Lower Stats)
---Strategy #1 ---
I'll mention the most common of all boss strategies. Just in case some
people don't know them. First have two of the three girls be Dark Knights,
each turn have them use darkness, then have the final girl be either an
Alchemist and mixing potion/hi-potion when low on hp or using White
Mage to do Curage/Life/Protect.
Some accessories that are nice to have are anything that protects
against status alignments. And anything to add to defense
---End Strategy #1---
---Strategy #2 ---
For a more expertly approach I would recommend, a girl with Alchemist
or White Mage as your healer, then a songstress to use her singing
ability to keep your stats high (They are decreased from "Pain") and the
final girl something with high attack power (I.E Warrior, Dark Knight, or
Berserker) Keep at this for a long battle or switch out the songstress to
one of the attacks mid-battle.
Be ready with a Remedy or Esuna every time he uses Pain so the girls
can continue fighting. Also keep your HP because he can do some
strong attacks back to back.
---End Strategy #2---

===================A1700: FAQS===================
=====================F=F=X=2=====================
Q: Why should I go through each and every underground dungeon?
A: Because it gives you completion points and one of the best GG
"MEGIDDO" which allows you to cast Ultima and Flare.
Q: Do I have to fight Shiva, Magus Sisters, and Anima every time I go
through a different dungeon?
A: No, once you beat them your first time through you won't have to again.
Q: Your boss strategy doesn't help me, what should I do?
A: Well you have a couple of choices, either look up the bosses in a more
detailed FAQ, or contact me and I will explain it a bit easier to understand.
Q: How come the "AESHMA" enemy is immune to all my attacks?
A: Well the most obvious way is to use two dark knights using darkness and
have Rikku be a healer. The spoils aren't that high so he's not really worth
fighting.
-Contributed by "Auradream18@aol.com"
Q: Can I submit my own boss faqs to you?
A: Yes, you will get credit and I will post them if they are clear and
different enough from mine.
Q: When/Where do I get the GG "Megiddo"?
A: When you complete the final dungeon, and reach where Anima
would've been there will be a cut-scene where you get it
Q: I see so many other ledges/pathways that I never went on, how/where
can I access them?
A: Truth is, you already did if you went through all the dungeons. My
hypothesis is that they're all connected since the Aeons don't reappear
when you go to a new one.
Q: Brother is not standing in the middle where is he?
A: You should try looking in the front center of the airship, where he is
driving. A new route will open up letting you go to the Farplane Abyss.
Q: Is there a certain way to go through each hole?
A: No, as for as I know you can go through any hole in any order. But to be
completly safe, start at Besaid and go on.
